Motor skills and life

Early year education is now gaining a lot of traction. Early granny kind of education at home was given finest structure and syllabus by Maria Montessori and we have every street, nook and corners in Bangalore have them. They focus on spontaneous motor skills development and learning at our own pace. Good one, I must say.

 But I am here to talk about motor skills and life. With every topic touching my philosophically bent mind, this one is no alien to it. Our life starts with motor skills like able to sit, stand, walk, start making sound (I mean noise ok, I don't like these children making lot of noise honestly, still), holding a material, manoeuvring across a room etc. 

Best part is Indian society starts with competition there also. Grannies, moms compare their kins on motor skills, who starts what early. Actually, in life it does not matter when we start what, how early etc, all of it boils down to how we FINISH. Yes. Life starts with motor skills and then a lot of other acquired skills, rat races, our achievements. By achievements I mean lot of material gains like which university degree we have, is it technical, now much money we make, which MNC hires us, where do we buy flat, which car we own, how much jewellery we flaunt in gatherings etc. Now exotic holidays joined the list. In the end, all these matters to the close family or friends who are trusty. Rest of them it does not matter. DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL. A meaningful life is like living really long where a person has all his motor skills are intact and carries a lot of life lessons and his motor skills along with cognition is razor sharp. And yes. This matters. Even strangers notice it. Envy it. Curse it also. :)

At 85, can you drive? can you shop alone? can you climb stairs? can you remember bank password? Do you know who the councillor in local authority is? who is Prime Minister and what did say in his last speech, what is his cabinet size. These are the things that matters. So, these things don't depend upon others. So, spend time at gym, walk, trek, life weight, eat being mindful of it. have healthy thoughts.

 That's all about it. That's it!!!
